Figures provided by the Land Transport Authority show that in the first 10 months of 2022, the number of commuters who exited MRT stations in the Central Business District during weekday morning peak hours was about half that of pre-Covid levels.
This shift in commuting patterns reflects the move towards flexible work.
LTA also said that ticketing data also showed slightly lower peaks in public transport ridership during the morning and evening rush hours, as overall ridership for buses and trains in October 2022 remained lower than in October 2019.
